My docter has me on Clonzepam, and i asked him if there were any specific meds that i can take for panic attacks. He told me Paxil, Zoloft, or zanex. I dont want to be on an antidepressent because of the sexual side effects. Is there anyone else that is taking something different that is working and does not have the crappy side effects.
When i have a panic attack, my first symptom is dizzyness, then i get the racing heartbeat. My cardiologist had me wearing a monitor that i could record the panic attacks on and when i had one, my heart rate reached 130bpm. He said it was not bad, but i thought i was going to die. I had a lump in my throat and felt like i was having chest pains.
